About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

2 High-Flying Stocks to Target This Week and 1 We Ignore

MCHP Cover Image

"You get what you pay for" often applies to expensive stocks with best-in-class business models and execution. While their quality can sometimes justify the premium, they typically experience elevated volatility during market downturns when expectations change.

Determining whether a company’s quality justifies its price causes headaches for nearly all investors, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the real opportunities from the speculative ones. Keeping that in mind, here are two high-flying stocks to hold for the long term and one where the price is not right.

One High-Flying Stock to Sell:

Microchip Technology (MCHP)

Forward P/E Ratio: 37.6x

Spun out from General Instrument in 1987, Microchip Technology (NASDAQ: MCHP) is a leading provider of microcontrollers and integrated circuits used mainly in the automotive world, especially in electric vehicles and their charging devices.

Why Are We Out on MCHP?

  1. Sales tumbled by 4.2% annually over the last five years, showing market trends are working against its favor during this cycle
  2. Inability to adjust its cost structure while its revenue declined over the last five years led to a 17.6 percentage point drop in the company’s operating margin
  3. Free cash flow margin dropped by 15.8 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up

At $64.34 per share, Microchip Technology trades at 37.6x forward P/E. If you’re considering MCHP for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.

Two High-Flying Stocks to Buy:

Nvidia (NVDA)

Forward P/E Ratio: 32.3x

Founded in 1993 by Jensen Huang and two former Sun Microsystems engineers, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is a leading fabless designer of chips used in gaming, PCs, data centers, automotive, and a variety of end markets.

Why Will NVDA Outperform?

  1. Annual revenue growth of 125% over the past two years was outstanding, reflecting market share gains this cycle
  2. Share repurchases have amplified shareholder returns as its annual earnings per share growth of 79.5% exceeded its revenue gains over the last five years
  3. Robust free cash flow margin of 45.4% gives it many options for capital deployment, and its growing cash flow gives it even more resources to deploy

Nvidia is trading at $177.22 per share, or 32.3x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Construction Partners (ROAD)

Forward P/E Ratio: 46.2x

Founded in 2001, Construction Partners (NASDAQ: ROAD) is a civil infrastructure company that builds and maintains roads, highways, and other infrastructure projects.

Why Should You Buy ROAD?

  1. Average organic revenue growth of 9.6% over the past two years demonstrates its ability to expand independently without relying on acquisitions
  2. Additional sales over the last two years increased its profitability as the 70.6% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue
  3. Free cash flow margin grew by 5.1 percentage points over the last five years, giving the company more chips to play with

Construction Partners’s stock price of $122.25 implies a valuation ratio of 46.2x forward P/E. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free.
